The Buffalo Sabres cannot figure out 3-on-3 overtime in another loss to the Bruins

The Buffalo Sabres have had three results in a row that are exactly the same result. A 4-3 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins has fans asking what is wrong with this team once they get to overtime? Sneaky Joe looks at mistakes by Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson which led to Thursday’s loss, as well as the worst performance of the season by Alex Lyon.

Should the Sabres change up anything in overtime? Plus, what Joe believes Lindy Ruff should do with his goaltending trio, a make-it-take-it strategy involving Lyon, Colten Ellis, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

    I mentioned to a few people, the same problem the Sabres have had in every OTL. Which is giving the puck away when tm8s change (even if your tired, hold on to that puck…send it back to your goalie if you have to) but they have either just dumped it in so they could change, and/or tried a solo play which never works out. We all knew Lyon was gonna have to have an below average game (becuase I don't think he played bad by any means). Washington will be tough goaltending wise. You can do either UPL or Ellis, but the next game give the remaining goalie it. Give Lyon the next game off completely. Not even backup. Give him some rest. A question for you, If you have the ability to pull a goalie whenever….do you pull a goal after a certain amount of goals allowed? My cutoff is 3. It does depend on the quality of shots and team in fronts play. But that is my window. 4 absolute max then pulled, no matter the quality.

    Imo this is gonna take some time. By the 20-30 game mark we should see this team really Jelling smoothly. I like what's going on right now and have high hopes for the Sabs this year. But, we have been burned so many times by this team, we'll just have to wait and see how it goes.

    Coaching coaching coaching. This year will be 15 because we failed to address it in the postseason. PP has no identity, none. I know we've had some success of late, but I can't identify any set plays (no clear zone entry plan, Tage isn't even in the Ovechkin spot now). Just hoping for goals from the blue line, good luck with that.
